This immersive experience will introduce you to the basics of International Sign, led by Susan Emerson (a WFD Accredited International Sign Interpreter, and Executive Board Member of WASLI) and Shirley Liu (WFD Youth Section Board Member).  Designed for those attending WASLI or WFD in Paris, and anyone else interested in learning new communication strategies.

To be followed by a 2nd session on 5 June.

English is one of the most difficult languages in the world – how do educational interpreters successfully operate in this subject area? Is it Mission Impossible?! Never!

What tips and strategies can you use to help you achieve optimal learning outcomes for Deaf students? How can you interpret and analyse texts/novels? How do you effectively use Auslan to bring a story alive? How do you focus on getting complex ideas and thoughts from Deaf students? What is the best way to show how we can write sentences, paragraphs much less an essay in Auslan?

Build your toolkit with ideas tips and strategies shared by our experienced presenters, Sally Strobridgeand Marnie Kerridge, covering both Primary and Secondary levels.
